How can I strip this old white crackle finish paint off, in an apartment, without making a mess?

I've had this piano bench for over 20 years. I got it in the mid-2000s when crackle finish was in. I regret that I painted it with white latex interior paint and then coated it with some paint crackle product.

You can see the original deep rich stain color on the Inside. I'd love to strip off the paint and stain it a deep mahogany color.

I live in a small apartment and have pets. Would it be safe to open all the windows, and put it in a room the pets can't access, lay down plastic drop cloth and then coat it in citristrip to remove the paint? Would I then have to sand it? I don't have an outside space to do that.

Please provide any advice you have.
